Just come across this: The old Waterloo was fabled for its complexity. Growing up piecemeal it became a nightmare for passengers and parodied in literature most famously in 1889 by Jerome K. Jerome (the Victorian John Cleese) in The Three Men in a Boat: 'We got to Waterloo at eleven and asked where the eleven-five started from. Of course nobody knew; nobody at Waterloo ever knows where a train is going to start from, or where a train is going to, or anything about it.'
